G&L L2000 CLF - Full Tone Tour!

This is my personal L2K, (yeah, THAT one) and I wanted to share some love for it as I believe that the L2000 is Leo Fender's greatest contribution to the world of bass (other than creating the first P Bass... chicken and egg, you know?). This one is Sunset Coral, roasted maple neck, I believe it's a Pine body, with the CLF original control plate and headstock. This bass makes me happy every time I play it, though it seems it didn't always make everyone feel that way in the past! ;)

Thanks out to the folks at G&L for making great instruments, being great people, and for keeping Leo Fender's old shop up and running and cranking out amazing basses and guitars.

I happen to have a very early L2000 and the heel on the neck was signed by leo its a fretless ebony fretboard maple neck ash body I love this bass and will never sell it

[JayOchs]

Love the L2000. I've got a 1987 Leo Signature one in transparent green. It's as old as me and it's still rocking perfectly to this day! Always loved this bass. Cost me $599 used at guitar center back in 2006!!

The groove was worth it alone. Having owned a L2000 Tribute 10 years ago I have a L2500CLF incoming on Friday. Looking forward to getting to know it.

I can believe I slept on G&L all these years, , Construction, Fit n finish, quality, they are not out of reach for most, great Bang for buck for the American versions.

Passive EQ is brilliant. That bass kills! Love the tone you are getting. Bite all day long.

[VeitLehmann]

Sick color, love it, especially with that roasted maple and rosewood neck and CLF design! And the single-coil option is awesome as well, provides some really nice sound options that I wouldn't want to miss!

[Based.Mercado]

Definitely my favorite Leo product, and that color is fantastic!!! It’s good to see you again man

I have a early 80's G&L L-1000.
It's going in my coffin when I expire 💀

Ed, just EPIC Thx. As for the CFL L2000, who needs a bass instrument collection, when anyone can have this one bass; Just

[steveschneck]

Great demo! Love my L2500. So many tones and zero issue ever cutting through a mix.

[jcmcclain]

Brings back memories of the advice you gave me by email alooong time ago when I was buying my first grownup bass. I choose the M-2500 and have never looked back. I remember you telling me the L-2000 was a P on steroids.

[stainless]

Awesome solid bass. The live section at the end really shows how deep and clear this beast grooves. Like this peg head better and miss the old body shape.

[BartFunkBass]

I was never interested in this model but I think this video has changed my mind!

[KirkBryson]

I love my 1987 with a "jazz neck". I typically play it both pickups, series, active!!! punch bass for sure!!

[NewEngland]

- I ordered a L2K new from Mr Music in Boston/Alston in 1984. I still have it today and still only use it without the preamp engaged. Love the bass.

[ken_wilkens]

Love my L2K!!! Neck/Series/Passive is where I live with my bass.

[Stands-In-The-Fire]

I love my L2000-E. It was one of the old 3-bolt necks, got it years and years back and it was absolutely *trashed*. The pre-amp was a goner and I finally gave up on it, so a few years back I redid the controls completely. It's now wired fully passive with Vol/Vol/Tone, and has 2 3-way switches so each pickup can be Series/Parallel/Single Coil.
Probably my favourite tone most of the time is the Neck/Full/Single and Bridge/75%/Parallel. The bass is a bit boom-y and dark, so it's also using 1 meg pots which gave me back a decent amount in the highs/mids.

[nickpicc]

L2000 was my main bass for a long time. Great basses! I had a M2500 for a while that was also amazing.

Nowadays mostly just play my Stingray but miss the G&Ls sometimes

[mtaffonso]

I have a L2K Tribute. And I have P bass, J Bass, Stingray 5 HH, Warwick Corvettes, and the L2K is my favourite bass

[stefanfaustmann]

How dare you take this to a Mavericks gig?!! 😂 This bass is phenomenal, and I love that you can switch it to single coil too. What a killer bass!
